Battlestar Operatica

[BrILjanTje]

the violin is really beautifull..

andthe lyrics very funny:)

[xXHobbesXx]

Anch'io, si amo segretamente il mio tostapane. <3

[PrinceRoy1990]

When is that song played again ? =o I got the seasons 1-3 but I haven't found it yet... Was it during a battlescene when some Battlestars got blown up? Its stuck in my head somehow...

@PrinceRoy1990 its played on 'Tigh Me Up Tigh Me Down' when Baltar was staring at over 47,000 blood samples that will take 11 years to test all of them LOL

[SilverbladeGR]

The aria is based on Mozart`s Canzonetta sull' aria. I think the whole concept is a blast :)

[Anon701]

When I heard this out of context I thought it was serious opera backing a happy scene.

When I saw the translation I laughed and realized the opera was a joke.

How did the singer keep a straight face doing this?

P.S. Which scene does this back?

[wood4sheep2]

@Anon701 she said it was fun!!! I think she enjoyed the humor of it.

Maledetto sia tuo cuore Cylone! C'è una tostapane nella tua testa, E porta tacchi a spillo. Numero Sei ti chiama: Il rivelatore Cylone impone! La tua ragazza è un tostapane! Maledetto sia tuo cuore, Cylone! Ahimè, disgrazia! Ahimè, tristezza, e miseria! Il tostapane ha un bel vestito Rosso, come la sua spina dorsale ardente. Sussura Numero Sei: "Per tuo comando..." Maledetto sia tuo cuore, Cylone!

La tua ragazza è un tostapane!

I love this song. It's really pretty, and also hilarious. And of course the scene where it's played is one of the funniest in the whole series.

[Gozerthegozarian1984]

Woe upon your Cylon heart There's a toaster in your head And it wears high heels Number 6 calls to you The Cylon Detector beckons Your girlfriend is a toaster Woe upon your Cylon heart Alas, disgrace! Alas, sadness and misery! The toaster has a pretty red dress Red like its glowing spine Number Six whispers By Your Command

As I remarked to someone in another post, it sounds like an Italian / Latin haiku, not adhering to the 17 - syllable rule.

Maybe.

[ScarbyPlaytron]

It is Italian

[knoxvilleguy2]

ScarbyPlaytron:

Of course.

How Bear McCreary can cross the musical spectrum so EASILY is a wonder to me.

[MrSquark]

haha

That's brilliant, they must have had a laugh coming up with that.

Strangely poetic too though

[freedomphamtom]

[box3rfolife]

nice find. i like this song.

[magick205]

Have you ever read the translation? Here's part:

Your girlfriend is a toaster

Woe upon your Cylon heart I'm sure our Italian audience had a laugh with this. The rest is a hoot.
